Technology and distribution providers
Technological developments have had an enormous impact on the leisure industry in recent times, and the legislative framework in which businesses work has altered dramatically as a result.
We have helped our clients optimise the benefits of such changes across a wide range of projects, including outsourcing key parts of their business, establishing online commercial ventures and ensuring that ever increasing volumes of their business are derived through electronic means.

- Utel, the world's largest hotel representation company, in relation to trade mark issues
- Dillon Communication Systems (DCS), a major provider of a computer-based travel booking and reservation system in Germany, on numerous software agreements with travel agencies, on various CRS and co-operation agreements and the development of new online-products
